Installed my new gauges using heat shrink tubing, solder, crimp connectors, and split loom tubing. Took so much time this way but now I wont have to worry about a wire nest or shorts.

Oil pressure, boost, and afr with an LC-1 controller as the heart of my wideband.

The gauges have a secondary wire for amber back lighting but the white matches the interior better. The AFR gauge also comes with a momentary switch that when activated lets you choose to hold afr memory and a kill switch if afrs go over 16 afr or an afr of your choosing. Keeps you from blowing your motor up if afrs go too lean.

 

niceee man! a friend of mine has a boost gauge in his gti and it lights up the same color as your's but it isnt inovate. idk who makes it. itd match my ss cluster perfect tho (mine is white and red)

this would too

 

Very nice!

 

rats nest.

 

I got your rats nest.

Finished up gauge install today.

Took the pressure monitor and installed it with the autometer adapter for our engine.



Remove the fuel plug on the front of the motor, it was easier since my turbo kit leaves tons or room under the manifold.





Created a wire terminal on the wire coming from the gauge under the hood. Use heat shrink tubing to keep the wires from corrosion.



All the guages come through the fire wall through large split loom tubing and encased is the boost hose, the afr sender wires, and the line from the oil pressure sender.





Screw the newly made connector onto the sender unit on the block. This retains the stock oil pressure sensor and is separate so no modifications are made to the stock sender.

 

 

 

Great job! Nice and clean

 

thx

 

Im going to do this soon, innovate makes great products

Can you post the model numbers of the gauges and adapters?

 

G3 Boost Gauge
LC-1 controller with blue led gauge (you scrap the gauge for the wideband failsafe gauge)
G3 Oil Pressure gauge with sender
G3 Wideband failsafe gauge for LC-1
Autometer metric adapter 2278

All of them are stepper motors with amber or white led backlights and the G3 wideband has a failsafe circuit and a memory button that you can wire to the back of it. I am not using this feature at the moment but if I was on meth I would. I use E85 so I dont really need it.

 

I like that boost gauge. Might have to pick one up. What'd it cost you?

 

all the gauges were about 80 bucks from Nolimitmotorsport.com. The controller was 130 or something like that. The whole setup cost me 220 bucks, got the pillar pod for free, and the LC-1 controller I already had.

 

The G3 series has been discontinued and nobody really has them anymore, so good luck finding them... But i heard they coming out with a new series to replace it in the next 1-2 months so i guess we shall see...

 

I have the LC-1, with DB gauge... Ill keep my eye out for the g3 gauges

 

looks cool man! awesome to have a motor saver

 

Looks awesome man. Good work

 

When I ordered mine from nolimitmotorsport, one was on back order. I called up these guys and they ended up telling me they searched one down for me. They were in the process of getting something new together but if you really want these they are still out there, just give these guys a call.

thanks to all for the compliments. I searched a while before I pulled the trigger on this setup. Sold my Aerofroce scan gauge because I use hpt to log and these were really what i monitored at all times. Just cleaned up the interior as well.

 

What size and type of socket is needed to pull the galley plugs?

 

Wow looks great, and only $220? That's awesome.

 

Nevermind.


They are Torx-40.

However, the rear ones put the sender for an electric gauge way close to the exhaust manifold/header.
Decide to source a T and put the aftermarket sender in the stock location on the T and figure out how to get the stock sender on there too.
